<p>A beta titanium-fiber reinforced composite laminate (10) comprising at least one layer of beta titanium alloy (16) and at least one layer of fiber reinforced composite (12), wherein the layer of beta titanium alloy (16) has a yield strength to modulus of elasticity that is substantially similar to the strength to modulus of elasticity ratio of the first layer of fiber reinforced composite (12). Also, a method of preparing a beta titanium-fiber reinforced composite laminate (10) comprising the steps of, first, providing a beta titanium alloy having a first yield strength to modulus of elasticity ratio; then, heating the beta titanium alloy at a first temperature for a first time to produce a beta titanium alloy (16) having a second yield strength to modulus of elasticity ratio; and then, adhering the fiber reinforced composite (12) having a strength to modulus of elasticity ratio to the beta titanium alloy (16) to produce a beta titanium-fiber reinforced composite laminate (10); wherein the first temperature and the first time are such that the second yield strength to modulus of elasticity of the beta titanium alloy (16) is substantially similar to the strength to modulus of elasticity of the fiber reinforced composite (12).</p> |
